New Guayadeque with Collections Support now up in svn

anonbeat

The new guayadeque interface with collections support is up in svn now. Please be aware that this version is almost a complete rewrite in some aspects of the program and so it can have bugs.

I need your help to find out them all so please install it and let me know anything wrong with it.

The most important thing that have changed is that now you can have as many collections as you like. A collection is what used to be a library. You still can define many paths for every collection. This can be useful for example to keep a Audio books collection completely separated from your Music collection. Or having one collection for you and another for your wife.
You can define a option to be used to transfer tracks from one collection to another.
Also changed that the Library view, the Album Browser view, the Tree view and the Playlists are now shown in the same tab of guayadeque. You can switch from one to another with a simple click. I think this makes more easy and clear having multiple collections open at the same time.

Its important to make a backup of the .guayadeque in case you want to come back to an earlier version because the new configuration file and tables are different from the older versions.

Thank you very much goes to tamalet and camaron who helped to redesign the interface and get a more usable software.

Looking forward for your comments and bug reports
Thanks for your help.

Good to see new features in Guayadeque :)

One problem though: I can't build SVN revision 1663. Here's the log:

/home/lysias/bin/guayadeque/src/MainFrame.cpp: Jäsenfunktio ”void guMainFrame::OnCollectionCommand(wxCommandEvent&)”:

Try doing make clean and then ./buildd

Great job as usual!

Got it working by deleting local SVN source and redownloading the code from SourceForge's SVN repository and/or installing libgpod-dev.

After the upgrade, it seems that the library isn't imported properly into the new music collection. In my library I can only see the latest added album and updating the library has no effect. If I do a rescan, all the songs are added to the library but they lose their playcounts and ratings. Luckily I had a backup of the library and settings before I upgraded. This is what I get in the terminal when Guayadeque is first ran after the upgrade:

Created the lyrics folder
Created the collections folder
Created the Radios folder
Created the Jamendo folder
Created the Magnatune folder
Error: XML parsing error: 'syntax error' at line 1
Error: can't open file '/home/lysias/.guayadeque/guayadeque.conf.00' (error 2: No such file or directory)

20.29.32: Library Db Version 0
20.29.32: Updating database version to 21

The new music collection points to the right path and the size of the database doesn't change. It's as if Guayadeque somehow hides all the other songs except for one album.

Anonbeat, would you like me to send the conf files before and after the upgrade?

anonbeat

I need to allow to compile guayadeque without iPod support. This is broken at this time.

@Lysias:
Try this :
close guayadeque
copy the ~/.guayadeque/guayadeque.db into ~/guayadeque/Collections/4EAB029C
start guayadeque

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for your help

@Anonbeat:

That did it, thanks :)

anonbeat

Thanks. I need to fix that too

Just compiled and installed the SVN-rev1664. Using the "trick" anon mention to @Lysias got my old library...

BTW. I'm willing to have a "new feature" since a long time. In the "Album list box" only the covers of the "full albums" are displayed. I would like to see the cover of the albums that do not have a dedicated JPG file and have the cover embedded into the files.

A few "bugs" I've found in the first minutes of usage:
- In the Collection, when I select the "tree mode": when I edit the information of some tracks (specially the year), the tree does not update. I have to manually update the collection/library
- In the area with the play controls, the embedded cover of the mp3 file is not shown (in previous versions of guayadeque it was shown). The cover is only shown for "full albums" with cover file.

QUESTION:
In my collection, in tree mode, I see:
+ ARTIST
+ (empty string)
+ YEAR OF ALBUM 1
+ YEAR OF ALBUM 2

What am I supposed to see in the second row??

Regards

Thanks for your great work
Guayadeque rocks!!

You can have it if you enable the option scan embedded covers for the collection in preferences

This should be fixed in svn 1665. Thanks for your bug report

If you edit the current tree filter it will tell you what criteria is using to build the tree.

I compiled and installed svn 1665. I'm using ubuntu 11.10 and the multimedia keys work now. I added the icon by dragging it to the launcher in unity but it had a blank spot on the panel. Then I removed it and now I can't add the icon and the program icon doesn't appear at all. It's running but it's not even in the alt+tab list.

Thanks for the quick fix for multimedia keys.

Something is not OK when i start guayadeque (svn1665) play only the first track from play-list (in config I have from 0 minute autoplay)

Hi anon,

Thanks for your fast reply and the corresponding fixes!!

I have already the option enabled in the preferences but it does not work. Maybe I have not expressed myself in the right way... (see attached screenshot)

Till now I have not experienced any other problems with svn1665

Thanks again!

I restarted and removed the program. After reinstall I got the icon back. May it was Unity issue.

BUG Report:
In Imported Dynamic Playlists (from previous Guayadeque DB), the SORTING cannot be changed. I edit the "Sort by" field in "Result" and after pressing OK nothing happens. If I edit again the Playlist, the "Sort by" option is not enabled.

Re-creating the Playlist from scratch works fine.

Example: playlist "80's":
1. Year after 1979
2. Year before 1990

Sort by Year (Ascending)

As I've mention this only happens if I imported the list from the old 'guayadeque'. If I make a new Dynamic Playlist with those (or similar) characteristics it works.

Another issue I've found:
Song "A" is enqueued and it's information is edited, right clicking in the library (not the playlist). The information is changed in the DB, but not in the playlist. If I click in the playlist and press "edit song" the old data is still there. Or if I wait till the song starts playing, then also the old data is shown.

Something similar happens also in the collection view. Imagine searching in the library for "sinatra" and the results contain "F. Sinatra" and "Frank Sinatra". In the artists box, we will see both. If we edit the tracks with "F. Sinatra" and write "Frank Sinatra", the Artists box will still display both until we perform a new search. Same happens with album or genre...

Both are not "major bugs" but somehow the behavior is not a I would expect.

Thank you for your efforts!!!
I'm loving Guayadeque everyday more and more!!!

@gobater: The dynamic playlists option should be fixed too in revision 1670

Thanks for your help

Just updated and I'm loving the changes. Great job.

I longed for this for a very long time. Do you when can I expect the deb builds to be provided. There used to be svn debs too. Is it still true? Or I have to wait until it is pushed into stable. (I am not about to install it from svn).

Linye

I found a bug.

When I press "enter" to start an artist, album, or song to play; the music starts but Guayadeque also opens up the Songs Editor.

I will update the svn package once the latest changes are more stable and more bug free. This can be in one or two more weeks.

If nobody helps using the svn version It takes more time for me to fully test the software.

Hi anon,

Thank you for fixing the issue with the edition of Dynamic Playlists. Works perfectly with 1770.

coacharnold

Ok ... so whats the deal ...... I installed it (backed up my .gayadeque folder) I have no library ..... Do I have to rebuild it? Did i loose all the covers I set?

I'm looking in the . guaya folder and I don't see a folder. did I loose all that stuff ??

coacharnold

Love the program , I wish I waited to upgrade ,,,,,

coacharnold

ok... when I look into the .db file in my backup ..... it seems everything is there ..... but if I install the repository Guaya or the new svn .... it doesn't come up ....

thoughts suggestions

t

tamalet

When you backed up the .guayadeque folder did you leave a copy or did you just moved it?
The new version is supposed to get as much as it can from the old configuration file.
Covers are saved as files in the album directory so you shouldn't have lost them.

If you went back to the old version and it's not working it may be that your configurations got corrupted.

coacharnold

I figured it all out .... I'm the idiot here ....sorry for being testy

thanks though ....

It was not implemented till recent revision. It will search for missing covers and put the found ones in the album folder.

Thanks for your help

ok thanks

I've just installed SVN and the new features are simply wonderful. The only strange behavior so far is that I can't make tray icon show up.
